Words that rhyme with Transport
Sound and sense both matter for transport. The sound: two-syllable, vowel on the back /ษหr/, ending that closes on a liquid feeding into a stop. The sense: an unguarded everyday word. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. Pool data: perfect rhymes turn up in abundance, family-rhyme territory comes up dry, and the assonance well is bottomless. Its function in a song, meanwhile, is to act as a word the lyric earns weight from by context. Hold the perfect column for the chorus; let the verses sample the slant columns.

Why transport rhymes the way it does
To understand why transport rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the /ษหr/ vowel, written /ษหr/ โ and the ending, which closes on a liquid feeding into a stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 83 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 157, assonance 8,076, and consonance 115. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Transport rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
